The President, Mohammadu Buhari, says he is ready to campaign for Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other candidates of the party with “full energy and conviction”.
According to the statement, Buhari was responding to claims that he had not participated in the party’s campaigns after he attended the official flag-off in Jos, the Plateau capital, in November.
“President Muhammadu Buhari assures the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates in the elections next year that he is ready at all times to campaign for the Presidential Candidate and all party candidates with full energy and conviction,” the statement reads.
“This is to dispel expressed concerns in certain quarters that the President has not featured in campaigns since the national launch in Jos, Plateau State, and to stress that while he remains committed to party politics, the functions and duties of the President will equally be upheld at times.
“The President noted that the APC campaigns have so far been the most aggressive in recent history. They have been impressive and of a high voltage, compared to the opposition that seems to be playing catch-up.
“He expressed strong optimism that the party will win all the elections fairly and squarely.”
